The Fedora mirror system doesn't always behave nicely
(timeouts, bad sync, slow transfer rate, ...)
I find that SIGINT is appropriate about once per week
just for downloads.
Well I sure love eating crow. I have in fact hit control-c in the case where a slow mirror
(like, dial-up modem slow) was even delaying the database update. 10 minutes later, still
no idea if there were any applicable updates available. But control-c during that initial
database updating for me has always been instant kill and drop to a prompt. Retrying,
nothing is inconsistent, and I'm connected to a much faster mirror 100% of the time.
So at least that instance of control-c appears to work.
